Wool is the way

Wool has been synonymous with optimum warmth for centuries, yet when people think “home insulation”, man-made, synthetic products still jump to mind. That’s all changing, and we’re among those leading the charge with Envirowool®, one of the very few, pure wool insulation products around. Read more

A Buy NZ Made Member and Brand Partner to the Campaign for Wool, of which HRH Prince of Wales is Patron, Envirowool® proudly uses 100% southern New Zealand wool. The wool we source is quite literally hand-picked at shearing time to ensure only the very best parts of the fleece for thermal properties and longevity are selected.

Envirowool® can prevent up to 40% of your home’s heat loss, and is just as effective in commercial buildings. We can top up your existing insulation to whatever level you’d like, or start completely from scratch. The beauty of Envirowool® is that it can be blown into every nook and cranny of your roof cavity, reaching areas other products don’t stand a chance of getting to.

Unlike other products, Envirowool® is pure, loose wool that brings a wealth of unique benefits only this natural fibre can. As well as its great insulation and sound proofing qualities, Envirowool® is free of formaldehyde; it’s also non-allergenic and naturally flame-resistant.

For existing homes and buildings where insulation removal’s needed, we use a powerful, purpose-built extraction system to safely and cleanly “suck out” old insulation. Then, we put our custom-designed installation machine into action, “blowing” wool into the roof space.

Envirowool® is a premium product, and we only use the best for installation. All jobs are scoped and overseen by a tradesperson to ensure great results every time. Insulating a ceiling cavity that has existing problems, like rotting wood, exposed wiring or insect infestation, with any product is fraught – that’s why an important part of our initial assessment process includes a pre-installation inspection.
